This is an unusual Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery. Brunetti fakes a heart attack to prevent Pucetti attacking a man during an interrogation. The result of this rash act is a medical leave of absence. Brunetti stays in the Sant'Erasmo villa of a wealthy relative of his wife, Paola. This (real) island is located in the Venetian Lagoon. Brunetti meets an old rowing friend of his father, Davide Casati, and spends much time exploring the laguna with this troubled man. When Casati goes missing, Brunetti investigates. Although this story was slow, it was rich in detail. I enjoyed the relationships, the atmosphere, and the underlying message. Great read!
